What is the cost of a Computer Science tutor in Skipton?

The cost of a Computer Science tutor in Skipton can vary depending on several factors, such as qualifications, experience, and whether Face-to-Face or Online. Private Computer Science tutors in Skipton may cost anywhere from £15 to £60 per hour. A qualified teacher in Skipton from Teachers To Your Home, will range from £17.50 per hour for online group tuition, to £50 for Face-to-Face A Level Computer Science Tuition in Skipton.

Which is better? Face-to-Face or Online Computer Science Tuition?

Face-to-face tuition in Skipton allows for direct interaction and personalized attention from the Computer Science tutor. It provides a more structured learning environment and can help students stay more motivated and focused. On the other hand, online tuition offers more flexibility in terms of scheduling and location. Students can access Computer Science tutoring from anywhere and online sessions can be recorded for future reference. Online tuition also tends to be more affordable and can offer a wider range of Computer Science tutors and subjects. Ultimately, the best choice depends on the individual student's needs and preferences. Younger or SEN students may benefit more from face-to-face tuition, while older students may prefer the convenience and flexibility of online tuition.

What are the advantages Group Tuition?

Group Computer Science tutoring provides a supportive environment where students can work together, learn from one another and engage in collaborative problem-solving. It provides students with a variety of perspectives and ideas, which can lead to a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Being in a group allows students to work together, communicate effectively, and develop teamwork skills. Group Computer Science tutoring is often less expensive than one-on-one Computer Science tutoring, making it more accessible for students who need extra help.

Does my child need a Computer Science tutor?

Not every child in Skipton needs a Computer Science tutor, but there are many scenarios where tuition will be beneficial. The obvious is if a child is not attending school for whatever reason. If they are at school, a Computer Science tutor may be needed to stop a student from falling behind, which can lead to disillusionment and behavioural issues; or to get back on track after a poor end-of-year exam result. If a specific learning difficulty or Special Educational Need (SEN) is identified, then Computer Science Tuition in Skipton can provide a vital reinforcement. For high stakes exams, such as 11+, Common Entrance (often 13+) for schools in Skipton, GCSE and A-Level or IB, tuition can provide that final boost to get over the line, the stretch to reach the top grades required for the next stage of education, or assistance with specific exam techniques that may not be taught at school.

A SEN (Special Educational Needs) Computer Science tutor in Skipton, is an educator who specialises in providing additional support and guidance to students with special educational needs. These needs may arise due to a variety of factors, such as learning disabilities, physical disabilities, or emotional or behavioural difficulties.

Computer Science Tuition Reviews

"Thank goodness we found you and thank goodness you found Mr TD, who is exactly right for us. After three lessons, our son is already feeling more confident with the topics he was struggling with (programming, algorithms) and is consequently becoming more motivated again."

Mr and Mrs Fernandez

Year 13 son, A-Level Computer Science (OCR) Tuition in Leicester

"After a very difficult few months, our son is settling into this new routine and is better focused and working again. Our tutor is very good indeed."

Mr Drayton

Year 11 son, GCSE Computer Science (AQA) Tuition in Bicester

"Thank you for supplying us with AK. He has been absolutely brilliant, and perfect for Reilly. He really 'knows his stuff', and Reilly feels much more assured of his direction, teaching approach and expertise. Alan has also been very kind and understanding about Reilly's specific needs. We are delighted!"

What is the difference between Computer Science and IT?

The school curriculum for computing has changed in recent years, with a greater focus now on the science of computing rather than on the applications. Computer Science is concerned with how computers and computer systems work, and how they are designed and programmed. IT (Infomation Technology) or ICT (Infomation and Communication Technology) deal with applying computer systems to solve real-world problems such as finding things out, exchanging and sharing information, and reviewing, modifying and evaluating work.

IT Skills

Digital culture and digital literacy have changed the way that people live, work, learn and play. Growing up in an IT-rich environment means that children need to have opportunities to experience and develop IT skills that will help them make the most of their adult life. IT is incorporated into practically every lesson at school, from the Primary Key Stages onwards; from interactive whiteboards and virtual learning environments, to educational computer games and cloud based technologies such as the internet, email and e-learning platforms. In the early years, the emphasis is on getting children familiar with the technology and in using the software for isolated tasks. Later, pupils will be taught how to use various programs for a particular task and may present their findings from an investigation. At higher levels, pupils should be able to design systems for others to use and to critically evaluate these systems.

GCSE and A-Level Computer Science

The GCSE Computer Science course is a very demanding and academic course, focusing on the founding principles and practices of computation and in the design and development of computer systems. At GCSE level, students are introduced to the Central Processing Unit (CPU), computer memory and storage, wired and wireless networks, network topologies, system security, system software, computational thinking, algorithms and programming. At A-Level, the course is divided into two complementary parts: theory and programming. On the theory side, students study the internal workings of a computer, right down the basics of how data is stored along with other aspects of computer architecture. On the programming side, students learn a programming language (usually chosen by the school) from C#, Java, Pascal/Delphi, Python and Visual Basic.NET. The A-Level is assessed with two exam papers (each 40%), plus a practical project (20%) which will typically be done over a period of 3 months.

From their latest Oftsed report:
“Leaders have taken some steps to improve the teaching of early reading. Books are well matched to the sounds pupils know. Pupils are developing a greater love of reading as a result of leaders’ work. Leaders have introduced a new approach to the teaching of phonics and early reading. Training has improved the confidence of many staff. However, some staff who support pupils who need extra help learning to read have not been trained in the school’s phonics programme. This means that some pupils are not catching up quickly enough.”

All achieved at least seven grades A* to C. The overall A* to C pass rate was 95.7%, with 70% of grades at A* and A. The vast majority of students continue into the sixth form and go on to attain exceptionally high standards at GCE A level. Alls tudents make excellent progress as they move through the school, including the small number with learning difficulties and/or disabilities.”

The Skipton local authority has an average of 47% of students achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths GCSEs (vs England's average of 43%). And has an average of 96% of students either staying in education or entering employment after GCSEs (vs England's average of 94%).
